Glad you are getting to the bottom of this issue.
Remember, getting the seconds only does so for the operating system  
Rev is running on.  I believe it will be the same for iRev, so when  
they switch in Texas, you will see the change, then be able to compare  
to your local value to see if that changes on the same evening.

I am going to be diving into iRev and time zone changes around the  
world on web servers beginning the end of September, so this same  
issue lies in my immediate future.
